They also shared with high -ranking European officials at a day meeting.

Literally WSJ: « The United States is now waiting for Kyiv’s response, which is expected to come to a meeting of officials of the United States, Ukraine and Europe in London later this week. Then, if there is a rapprochement between American, European and Ukrainian positions, proposals can be sent to Moscow. »

Literally WSJ: « Diplomatic US pressure It aims to prepare the basis for ceasefire along the current lines of hostilities and conflict resolution (wars in Ukraine – ed.).

The adoption of some ideas of Trump administration may be difficult for Kiev, as Ukraine refuses to admit that Russia has legal claims for any part of its territory. « 

Details: On Sunday, a high -ranking official of the US State Department named the ideas presented to Ukrainians, options that Kiev should weigh, not « accept or reject. » The official said that « potential options list » was provided « for discussion and feedback ».

The publication notes that in 2014 the United States would have crossed the Crimean Peninsula in 2014 with more than a ten -year American policy of presidential administrations – both Democrats and Republicans.

In 2018, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who worked under the first administration of Trump, condemned the annexation of Crimea by Russia as a threat to the « fundamental international principle divided by democratic states: no country can change the borders of another country by force. »

The US Congress has adopted a law opposing the recognition of the US occupation by Russia.

Another idea of ​​the United States, according to Western officials, involves the definition of territory around the Zaporozhye NPP with a neutral territory that can be under US control.

In March, during a conversation with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump raised the issue of acquiring Ukrainian power plants, including nuclear facilities, calling it « the best protection for this infrastructure. »

WSJ assumes that it will probably supply electricity to both the Ukrainian territory and the occupied regions, which the Russian Federation seized after the invasion of 2022 and holds it.
